Sera Prognostics is a leading proteomic and bioinformatics company dedicated to improving the lives of women and babies through precision biomarker-based tests designed to enhance pregnancy care. Sera’s vision is to deliver pivotal information in early pregnancy to physicians, to help them to improve the health of their patients and reduce costs of healthcare delivery. Sera’s PreTRM® Test reports to a physician the individualized risk of a pregnant woman to deliver prematurely, enabling earlier proactive interventions in patients with higher risk. Rigorous clinical validation of PreTRM® Test performance (accuracy of predicting premature delivery) was reported in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology in 2016 in a U.S. cohort of 5,501 patients across 11 centers. Preterm birth is defined as any birth before 37 weeks gestation and is a leading cause of illness and death in newborns. The 2020 March of Dimes Report Card shows that of nearly 4 million babies born annually in the U.S., more than one in ten is born prematurely. Prematurity is associated with a significantly increased risk of major long-term medical complications, including learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, chronic respiratory illness, intellectual disability, seizures, vision and hearing loss, and can generate significant cost throughout the lives of affected children. The annual U.S. health care costs to manage complications of prematurity were estimated at $31.5B for 2015. Sera is also developing a robust pipeline of innovative tests focused on other complications of pregnancy. Using its advanced proprietary mass spectrometry and bioinformatics platform technologies, Sera detects biologically important protein expression differences to build high performing predictions of risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes (including preterm birth, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, growth restriction, and others).
HealthLoop automates patient engagement to help health providers reduce cost, improve outcomes and deliver a 5-star patient experience. Reassuring guidance each step of the way connects care teams with patients who need it most. HealthLoop enables value-based care for hospitals to monitor at-risk populations, provide outreach when most needed and track patients through an episode of care. Patients rate their doctors with a 5-star experience and providers realize better efficiencies with an automated patient check-in approach. Located in Mountain View, HealthLoop facilitates over 25,000 automated check-ins each month.
SILKTECH focuses on innovating and developing silk-derived protein (SDP) products for ophthalmic applications. The company`s patented SDP material is currently being developed as a novel compound for the treatment of patients with dry eye disease. SILKTECH is based in Plymouth, MN and is financially backed by a combination of angels, grants and recently from a financing round by Skyview Ventures LLC.
LyGenesis is a biotechnology company with an organ regeneration technology platform enabling a patient`s lymph nodes to be used as bioreactors to regrow functioning ectopic organs.
We are a precision medicines company looking to eliminate the “all comer” approach that is seen with today`s treatments for people with autoimmune disease. We are leveraging a precision analytics platform, powered by Foresite Labs, coupled with a team of experts with deep experience in precision medicine drug development and immunology, in order to create medicines that change the lives of people with autoimmune disease.
